To ILZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE WASHINGTON BnoMLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing in Lake View, Passaic county, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Winding-Machines; and. I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of this invention is to increase the output of a winding-machine of the type illustrated in the United States Patent to Wardwell, No. 589,587, by multiplying in a practical manner the number of winding units.

My invention consists in certain combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter set forth, whereby this object is attained.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved windingmachine. Fig. 2 is a side view of the upper portion thereof looking from the right in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken just to the right of the pulleys c in Fig. 1.

In said drawings, a is the frame. I) is the main shaft carrying fast and loose pulleys 0, adapted to be driven from a belt (1. e is a fixed shaft carrying brackets f, in which are mounted studs g, alined with shaft 1) and ada ted, with said shaft b, to axially support bobbins or cop-tubes h, which may be connected with the shaft b in such manner as to be driven thereby. i is the slide-rod or traverse-rail carrying threaduides 3', adapted to play back and forth para lel with the respective bobbins or cop-tubes, whereby to lay the threads evenly on said. bobbins or cop-tubes. 7c is a cam mounted on a camshaft Z, journaled in frame a and receiving in its camgroove m a roller n on an arm 0, fixed to the traverse-rail '11, and p is a shaft journaled in a frame 1', fulcrumed on shaft lin frame a, said shaft 19 carrying a pulley t, over which and a pulley u on shaft a belt o extends, acting both as a supporting-sling and a means for rotating shaft 19, and consequently shaft Z, said shafts p and 1 being connected by gearin w. All these parts will be found more fully described in the patent above referred to and need no further explanation herein.

In bearings :20 in the frame is journaled a su plemental shaft y, which is driven by a be t z, passing over pulley a on shaft b and a ulley 2 on shaft y. Shaft y is kept from engthwise movement by collars 1,interposed between and. abutting against the two bearings a:.

On each end of fixed shaft e is arranged an upright 2. Its lower end is penetrated by shaft e, and it is adjustably secured thereon by a set-screw 3. The upper end of the upright 2 is penetrated by a horizontal rod. 4, which is adjustably secured therein by a setscrew 5. 6 is a bracket supplemental to and substantially like bracket f and. carrying a sup lemental stud 7, alined with the end of shaft y and coacting therewith to support a supplemental bobbin or coptube 8 in such manner that the bobbin or cop-tube is rotated from shaft y.

On each end of the traverse-rail i is secured another upright 9. This is likewise held adjustably on the traverse-rail by means of a set-screw 10, and it carries in its upper end a horizontal rod 11, which penetrates it and is adjustably secured therein by a set-screw 12. Said rod carries a supplemental thread-guide 13, which when the traverse-rail reciprocates plays back and forth parallel with the bobbin or cop-tube 8, so as to lay the threads evenly on the latter.

In a U-shaped rocking bar 14, formed with lugs 15, whereby said rocking bar is fulcrumed on the shaft e,is pivoted on a screw 16 a loopshaped. belt-shifter 17, which when moved on said screw 16 as a pivot moves the belt (I from one pulley c to the other. When the belt is on its fast pulley, (the position shown in Fig. 1,) belt-shifter 17 engages a notch 18 in frame ct, and is thereby prevented from shifting the belt under the tension of a spring 19, whichnornially tends to effect this. When the rockin 'bar 14 is, however, pressed backward, the elt-shifter is disengaged from the notch and spring 19 pulls it over. In order that upon the completion of the winding of a cop this mechanism may automatically act to shift the belt and stop the machine, the upper ends of rocking bar 14 carry horizontal arms 20, carrying pivoted wipers 21 in proximity to the cops on bobbins h, such arms being adjustable in the rocking bar by thumbnuts 22. This mechanism is extended so as to supplement it for the upper or sup lemental cops by securing between each end of rocking bar 14 and one of the thumb-nuts 22 an extension-arm 23, in which is adjustably secured by thumb-nuts 24: a horizontal arm carried by said fixed shaft, a rod arranged in 25, carrying a wiper 26, extending in proximsaid upright, another bracket carried by said ity to the adjacent cop on cop-tube 8. rod, another stud arranged in said last-named Having thus fully described my invention, bracket and alined, and adapted to coact, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by with the other rotary shaft to support an- Letters Patent, is other bobbin, means for rotating said rotary The combination of the frame, two rotary shafts, and means for effecting the traverse of bobbin-driving shafts arranged parallel with i said traverse-rail, substantially as described. each other, a traverse-rail, thread-guides, one In testimony that I claim the foregoing I for each shaft and one of them being carried have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of bly said traverse-rail, means for supporting March, 1905. t e other threaduide on said traverse-rail, 1 w a fixed shaft, a bfacket carried by said fixed GEORGE WASHINGTON BROMLEY' shaft, a stud arranged in said bracket and alined, and adapted to coact, with one of said rotary shafts to support a bobbin, an upright Witnesses:
